A similar argument is often made about PCs that run Windows just fine, but 
won't install Linux without crashing.

Question for Boisy: Is there any reason why Nitros should be any harder on a 
Coco3 than Tandy OS-9?  Does it bang on the GIME any more than Tandy?

The answer may be different for 6809 and 6309 versions of Nitros.
